The color code is for circuit identification as chosen by the engineer 
or draftsman. It gives no hint of wire size or insulation thickness. The 
conductor size of the replacement should be the same as that removed. 
Bigger won't hurt electrically but it won't slip into the wire harness. 
Smaller will go in the harness easier, but will run warmer and slightly 
lower the tube heater voltages when its in the circuit.
